possible spam/advert in bookmarks


Hello

I was just browsing through the bookmarks site and I saw two links - printer cartridges and nave seals gear.

http://bookmarks.linuxquestions.org/.../user/sally123

has made the submissions and I believe that these should be removed.

Chow!

Since it's a social bookmark site, we don't really remove things unless they are egregious.

Leave them be

They are throwing links to the sites around to get Google to hit on them more...

They don't really hurt anything/anyone.
